Evil Dead sequel “La Casa – Il Rogo del Male” released, praised for extreme gore and Raimi‑style direction

The newest installment of the Evil Dead franchise, titled “La Casa – Il Rogo del Male” (English: Evil Dead Burn), opened in cinemas this week. Directed and written by French filmmaker Sébastien Vaniček, the film is described as the most faithful continuation of Sam Raimi’s original vision, employing rapid‑cut editing, practical splatter effects and a claustrophobic urban setting.

The story follows Alice (Souheila Yacoub) and the family of her deceased husband William as a demonic deadite rises from a botched cremation, spreading possession and violence through the household. Reviewers note an abundance of practical gore, high‑energy action set‑pieces, and two post‑credits scenes that leave narrative threads open for future installments.
